Question 116711: what is the absolute value of 9

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A short way of thinking about absolute value is to recognize that the absolute value of whatever
is between the absolute value signs is always positive.
.
In other words:
.
abs%289%29+=+9
.
and
.
abs%28-9%29+=+9 also
.
So you can say that the absolute value of +9 (or just 9 if you prefer) is +9 and the absolute
value of -9 is also +9.
.
Hope this helps you to understand absolute value a little more.
